Arguably: Essays by Christopher Hitchens
Arguably: Essays by Christopher Hitchens

Review:While I don't always agree with Hitchens I always enjoy his writing and unique take on peoples, places, and history. I haven't actually finished the book yet but I have so far I really have enjoyed it. Read more

Our Man in Havana
Our Man in Havana

Review:Heard so much about Graham Greene since school days that eventually I bought the book from Amazon to satisfy my curiosity. It was a letdown.

Every character seems to be drinking and drinking on every conceivable occasion. Probably because of the alcohol, the dialogues are fuzzy and meandering. The story is supposed to be hilarious, with the British intelligence chiefs going gaga over the design of a vacuum cleaner that they thought represents some secret device. And when the hero (the vac... Read more

Miracle Cure

Review:Harlan Coben actually warns us about this book in his Note from the Author. He suggests to pick another of his novels. I should have listened. Very naive and not believable. Didn't like characters either. Read more

The Book of Essie: A novel
The Book of Essie: A novel

Review:This was a great story with an interesting and timely plot. The novel kept moving forward so that I couldn't put it down once I started. I do wish the characters were a bit more developed- I found myself wanting to know more about them. However that ultimately didn't change what a great read this was! Read more

Supernatural: Nevermore (Supernatural Series)
Supernatural: Nevermore (Supernatural Series)

Review:Started getting back into reading in general and tv novels like this were what I could keep my attention on (I'm not good at imagining my own characters, I need references). I read things in a span of 5 days or so and it was good, I'm not a good reviewer of books, yet, so all I can say is that it's good. Characters feel at times out of character though. Maybe it's my first time reading the supernatural novels or something, but I feel things are a tad bit out there with the characters. Read more

Supernatural: John Winchester's Journal
Supernatural: John Winchester's Journal

Review:I love that the book talked about the monsters, ghosts, and demons from the show. I also thought that it was cool that an angel from last season, and thus the basis for what is happening this season on the show (Metatron) was mentioned. Read more

The Supernatural Book of Monsters - and Ghouls
The Supernatural Book of Monsters - and Ghouls

Review:As an avid fan of Supernatural, I bought this book. It is a nice piece of TV reference material. The idea of this book is wonderful but I really missed a Bibliography and an Index. Too bad it is not that type of reference work. This writer has done a great amount of studying. I had never heard of him so looked him up. He is basically a sci-fi writer, my favorite venue when I read fiction. I think now I will be reading some of his other work. Read more

The Supernaturals
The Supernaturals

Review:The beauty of reading horror books is this: even though you’ve probably read this same thing or read the same horror book with similar plots, cookie cutter characters, etc, what really matters at the end of the day is; does it provide you with enough chills and creep factor to get you reading?

Thankfully, this one delivers!

The plot is pretty standard; haunted house that is on the market but nobody buys it. It needs a super cleansing and a group of people are gathered and led by a ... Read more

Supernatural: Witch's Canyon (Supernatural Series)
Supernatural: Witch's Canyon (Supernatural Series)

Review:I thought that Witches Canyon was better than Nevermore, like alot of other reviews I see posted here. It captured the series much better with the whole supernatural theme. The main bad guy in Nevermore was a living breathing human. I finished the book because I had nothing better to do at the time. I'm looking forward to other Supernatural books if they are as good as this one. Read more

Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting
Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting

Review:The book had some great stories, I was constantly about to either laugh or cry. But I though it would be more about all the different creatures and how to "off" them. I'm very glad I didn't buy this book before I did because it has some big spoilers and just doesn't make much sense if you haven't seen season six. Over all I really liked the book. Read more
